Published in 1896, In His Steps by Charles Sheldon is widely regarded as one of the most influential Christian novels of all time, impressing upon generations of readers the importance of living one’s life guided by the simple question: 'What would Jesus do?'The story follows a group of congregants from a small midwestern church who make a pledge to themselves and God that they will spend one full year modeling every thought, word, and action after the example set by Jesus Christ. This question-'what would Jesus do?'-becomes their guiding mantra in business dealings, relationships, and all personal decisions for the next twelve months.What unfolds is an in-depth character study as Sheldon’s protagonists wrestle with the practical implications of conforming the entirety of one’s existence to such a lofty spiritual ideal. The sober pastor grapples with the economic realities of ministry, a self-centered heiress softens her haughty demeanor through service, and a ruthless newspaper editor sees circulation plummet when he refuses to print the salacious headlines that once sold papers.n this classic, Sheldon succeeds admirably in bringing into relief the everyday trials his characters face. The reader is prompted to empathize while also recognizing clear parallels with his own life’s experiences. The climactic fire that devastates much of the town ultimately serves to cement the newly forged spirit of sacrifice and unity borne out through the community’s adherence to the motto: 'What would Jesus do?'In His Steps retains remarkable influence more than a century later, a novel driven not by narrative escapism but by the resounding message that a dedicated Christian walk demands much of believers-and the rewards for doing so prove infinitely more meaningful.
